help got the C.E.L after putting in a cone filter

i read a post about the cone filters so i went to canadian tire and picked up a cone filter for $25.99. came home and put it on and as soon as i turned car on my check engine light came on. do i have to go back to my ugly stock air box, or is there a solution for this problem?

did you make sure to plug your maf back in that triggers the check engine light also where did you put the sensor from the air box because in 95 the sensor is on the top of the airbox if u cut it theres your problem right there. you need to put that somewhere so it can read the air i believes its the IAT intake air tempertature or something like that sensor

Double check that you hooked up the IAT sensor.

looks fine to me. check to code to see if its even related. clear it out if it is and see if it returns.

when you get the C.E.L's, does it go away itself or it doesnt have the capability to find out that the problem is fixed and turns off itself

you can either get a obd2 sensor or look in the stickies and pull the codes manual from the ecu and the screw but did you use a maf adapter or something else to hold it in ??

Ive never seen one of these hook ups b4, but isnt that a IAT sensor on top of the cone? That could be the problem doesnt it go inside the intake??
